Miami, Florida - Controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was reportedly hospitalized on Tuesday after a group of men brutally assaulted him in the bathroom of a gym, with video of the attack later being uploaded online.

The 26-year-old musician, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was in the sauna area of an LA Gym location somewhere in South Florida, according to TMZ, who cited his longtime lawyer, Lance Lazzaro.

"Several guys" then suddenly attacked Tekashi 6ix9ine and delivered a savage beating, leaving him bloodied and nursing injuries to his face and torso.

Video tweeted by viral video outlet ONLY in DADE appeared to capture part of the assault, with three men hitting out at Tekashi while he's on the floor of the restroom, all while shouting at him to "shut the f*** up."

TMZ reported that police and ambulance services were called as soon as the gym manager was told of the incident. The GOOBA artist was treated at a local hospital.

Tekashi 6ix9ine was granted early release from prison in summer 2020, having initially copped a two-year sentence for a whole menu of charges, including racketeering and drug trafficking.

He famously cooperated – "snitched," as many news outlets called it at the time – with authorities in the prosecution of members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang he was part of.

There's now speculation that his past may have played a part in Tuesday's attack, with Lazzaro fueling that interpretation by saying he plans to contact federal law enforcement to ensure his client's safety.
